Beautiful, subtle depiction of family dynamics.
Loved her writing in her previous novels, but it was especially precise in this one.

I hate contemporary references in books with a passion but this one isn't that bad.
My only issue is Jayne is constantly said to be an emotional character but reading through I can barely get a sense of her thought process. She does things / takes actions at random,
I guess my other issue is misused AAVE. But also... Asian American? From Texas? New York transplants? Color me shocked.

edit: also a bit insufferable with that one conversation in the middle of the book about race, it barely scratches the surface of identity, but im sure it was cathartic for someone <3
please read content warnings before u read this book!!
